October 2, 20177 yr Author Would anyone be willing to design me two axles, one steered, one not, both driven, that is 15 studs wide? It should not use hubs, because I will be needing 4 axles (2 of each type), and I only have a pair of each. Suspension type should be live axle. I will be using the design on a trial truck, which won't be entered in any competitions, and I will give full credit to the designer of the axles. Â Cheers, Let's Build!

Does it need to have hub reduction? If you need hub reduction for trial truck that is not for display, you can only copy Lego Unimog 8110 axle...because it is sturdy enough

January 21, 20187 yr Author I built a chassis with an FR layout. I'm really not good at building bodywork, so does someone want to design one for me? I could send you a digital file of the chassis if you'd like. I'll be taking pictures as soon as the weather gets nicer, it's really stormy here.

I think it's better if you try to do bodywork first as evading problems will not help you overcome them :P I'm horrible at bodies, yet I try and I'm slowly learning how to make them. You should really try first, and if you think you are not getting anywhere at all, then only you should ask for help.

Thank you for your tip, but I have already tried building quite a few bodies, none looked good. I've noticed that appearance is an important thing on this forum, and I want people to like this model, so I need a nice body for it.

December 2, 20186 yr Author Alrighty, back to work I go! I have started an entry for TC15, and I will host my WIP topic here. My goal is to create something like a glider with working control surfaces. Currently I have ailerons and flaps. The ailerons are the mechanism in red. The flaps are the mechanism in white. The damper is used to keep the flaps at any position given. That's all for now, I'll keep y'all posted.
December 2, 20186 yr Hi, nice idea for the contest, but I believe the rules state that a separate topic for contest entry is obligatory.

December 5, 20186 yr Author I'm super excited to share this with you guys! For the first time ever, I have designed, built, and created a digital file for one of my models. This means that you could possibly have an exact copy of my truck siting on your building desk at home! Now, let's look at the model. It's a pull-back trophy truck. Quick, durable, and, with the suspension, quite fun.   My version has a damper in it, but yours would work just fine without one. You can find more details on the rebrickable page.  Hope you have a good day. Build on!
June 1, 20195 yr Author A few months ago, I was messing around with the pull-back motors after disassembling the Trophy Truck. After some quick tinkering, I came up with this: I'm sorry the picture isn't better, but it's the only one I've got. BUT I do have two videos. In this first one, the acceleration is properly demonstrated. The second one shows how it needs all of its grip to not spin out. In the second one, we can see just how easy it is to spin out. Â
October 19, 20195 yr Author I'm working on a JGTC car. I don't think anyone will be able to guess which. Â

March 12, 20204 yr Author Well, here it is, finally. 1999 Nissan GT-R JGTC  I built it in black because that's all I've really got :/  Features opening doors and hood, pull-back motors, and steering with HOG at the rear. The wing was a huge challenge, as was the shaping of the rear. There is a subtle curve to the back bumper. I'm also pretty proud of the tailpipe; the 2lL beam is perfect for it. You may also notice the tail lights are missing: I don't have the dishes I would have put there. Anyways, enjoy the model! It was a fun build. There are (as usual) more pictures on my Flickr. Edited March 12, 20204 yr by letsbuild
